Jelly Roll Encourages Trump to Drop Weight: “You’ll Be Happy to See Your Penis Again”

On Monday, August 24th, country artist Jelly Roll made headlines during his guest-hosting stint on Jimmy Kimmel Live by encouraging then-US President Donald Trump to lose weight. Citing a concern about the president's health, the musician cited his own success in losing 300 pounds and joked, "You'll be happy to see your penis again."

According to The Washington Post, multiple doctors expressed worry over Trump's weight, which had increased by 14 pounds since his last physical, pushing his total to nearly 240 pounds. Jelly Roll emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating, "Think about this, y'all: in the last few years, I've lost 300 pounds. That means I've lost an entire Donald Trump!"

He then ran a montage of Trump mocking others' appearances before concluding, "Well, Mr. President, from one fat pig to another: take it from me that physical fitness is very important. And trust me, you'll be happy to see your penis again." The comments from Jelly Roll caught Kimmel viewers off guard, as he was presumed to have MAGA sympathies.

Earlier in the year, photos surfaced of Jelly Roll at a November 2024 UFC event where he was seen with Trump, Mike Johnson, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, and other MAGA figures. Despite his recent comments, Jelly Roll insisted he was politically neutral when testifying before Congress about the fentanyl crisis.
